Testimonials
Highly recommended
Frank has kept my pets and my house happy for a second time. Dogs had their daily beach walk, cats were fed and cuddled, and hens were fed as well. Frank also watered the vegetable garden and the plants in the greenhouse - an allroundman allright, and highly recommendable!

Mind at ease
Frank looked after our house and 2 cats for 3 weeks recently while we were away on holidays. I never had to worry about a thing, he constantly kept in touch with pictures of cats and updates. We also have a polytunnel with lots of veggies and plants. Everything was well looked after. I would reccommend Frank to anyone who might have a working home as he is well able and reliable.

Highly recommended
Frank was very competent. He understood exactly what was needed and it was a relief to know he was there. The house was well kept, and the animals were happy. He also sent a few fotos each day via whatsapp so we knew what was happening. We will surely ask him again to mind our home!

The perfect dog sitter
Frank housesat for a second time last week, again at short notice. This time, I asked him to look after a rescue dog that I'm temporarily fostering. Frank was brilliant with the dog, and really helped to calm his general anxiety. I could see this, both by photos of the dog that Frank sent to me, and also by the dog's relaxed and happy mood when I returned. When Frank housesat for me the first time, he was great at keeping an eye on the house, checking it over, and alerting me to safety jobs that require attention. He was just as conscientious the second time. Frank seems to be a very practically-minded man who has had plenty of experience renovating his own homes over the years, and I would completely trust him to identify a problem if it occurred and take proactive action. It was a pleasure to welcome him to my home a second time, and I highly recommend him to others.

The perfect housesitter
Frank came to stay at my house for 2 weeks on very short notice, I really appreciated his flexibility. He was brilliant, made contact every day, attended to everything I asked with diligence and care, pointed things out to me about the house that I hadn't noticed, and was 100% reliable and practical. He thought of all the little things, like sending me photos of my post just in case anything was important. Frank seems a kind, thoughtful, very intelligent, and capable person. I would trust him to deal with any difficult situation or emergency, and highly recommend him.
